Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to a device and a process for the splicing of label bands, such as used for containers in bottling operations.
  • the pressure roller can be moved in the direction of the anvil roller and can, in the short term, exert high pressure on the label band positioned between the two.
  • two pairs of forward-moving rollers are preferably provided, one of which is supported in a spring-mounted manner in every pair. In this case, too, the label band passes between the rollers of every pair.
  • the spring-mounted forward-moving roller thereby continuously exerts a pressing force corresponding to the thickness of the label band, which can be controlled, as needed, on the stationary forward-moving roller of the same pair that is positioned opposite.
  • Each label band to be used in this splicing device must be equipped on its trailing end with a special adhesive layer and a signal transmitter that controls the splicing process; therefore, only special label bands are to be used.
  • the transport path in front of the splicing device contains two branches that are used alternately to move the forward and the trailing label band forward.
  • a label band is held in readiness in the specifically non-active branch of the transport path so that it can be attached to the trailing end of the forward, or old, label band both immediately and without interruption of the production.
  • At least one label is removed from the new label band manually, and the beginning thus prepared is inserted into the splicing device applied to the pressure roller.
  • the label-free beginning of the new label band is pressed in the direction towards the adhesive on the end of the old label band as soon as this is positioned in the gap between the anvil roller and the pressure roller.
  • the splicing point then passes through the forward-moving rollers, whereby an additional pressure is exerted on the splicing point by the overlapping spliced band areas. It is thereby not possible to prevent this pressure from also being exerted on the labels, which could make the subsequent detachment of the labels difficult.
  • the known device requires very great care by the operator during the preparation and insertion of the trailing, or new, label band.
  • the label-free beginning is positioned in such a manner that the entire adhesive area is positioned on the support band of the trailing label band after the splicing and does not protrude above the beginning edge or lie on top of a label, for example.
  • the distance between the last label in front of the splicing point and the first label after the splicing point should not be too great.
  • the label-free beginning must move together with the pressure roller in the direction towards the anvil roller, so that the operator must also take into account the time required for this movement, which can hardly be carried out manually, as well as the longer path that is necessary for it.
  • the task that forms the basis for the disclosure is consequently that of preparing a device and a process for the splicing of label bands, by means of which label bands can be spliced precisely and at high speed without requiring a high degree of experience or manual effort.
  • a defined end edge and/or a defined splicing area is produced on the forward label band during the conveying of the forward label bands, the position of which can be determined and tracked precisely. The necessity of having to position a label band precisely in the transport path is thereby eliminated.
  • a precisely defined end edge of the forward label band, the distance of which from the splicing station is known, can be produced without manual labor by means of the separating device positioned in the transport path in front of the splicing station. Furthermore, the generally unusable last labels of a label band can be separated without additional manual effort being required for that purpose.
  • a label-free splicing area can be produced at a defined point in front of the label band without manual labor by means of the label-removing device positioned in the transport path in front of the splicing station.
  • the cutting of the end edge and/or the removal of the label for the formation of the splicing area is carried out by means of one of the conventional deflector edges, whereby, in accordance with the disclosure, a guide recess into which the label band can be pressed as soon as the band has to be separated and/or a label has to be detached is assigned to this deflector edge.
  • the deflector edge can be put out of action during the forward movement in a constructionally simple manner, but can, however, still be immediately activated as soon as it is required.
  • both the separating device and the label-removing device use the same deflector edge, then the control is simplified, since the mutual relationship of the devices to one another and to the deflector edge is fixed.
  • a reception surface for the label removed that is provided on the label-removing device represents a possibility for removing the detached label in a defined manner, without the danger that the label will adhere to undesirable points being present.
  • the reception surface is suitably connected with the swiveling lever in such a manner that both of them are jointly moved into their working position and can be swiveled out from this working position.
  • the splicing station contains splicing clamps which can be pressed onto the label band and can be moved along a predetermined area of the transport path. In this way, it is ensured that the pressure applied for the strengthening of the splicing connection can be applied continuously and uniformly over the entire splicing point without labels being pressed on in any manner.
  • One particularly simple possibility for moving the splicing clamps is a joint entrainment through the movement of the label band.
  • the splicing clamps are displaceable along a guide unit.
  • the splicing station contains a suction holding device for that purpose.
  • each branch of which is provided with at least one label-removing device but each of which can, however, also contain a separating device, simplifies the operation of the device and reduces the type and the number of movements that are to be carried out by the label bands.
  • the control of the device in accordance with the disclosure is particularly simple and requires, in principle, only one sensor that determines the position of a label in the transport path, preferably behind the splicing station. If this position is known, then it can be determined precisely, from the known distance from the sensor to the separating device and/or to the label-removing device, and from the known dimensions of the label band—that is to say, in particular, the dimension of the labels in the direction of transport as well as the distance between the labels on the label band—when cutting can be carried out and where cutting has been carried out, or if a label is located in a position in which it can be removed from the label band, as the case may be.
  • the size of the gap caused by the splicing point between the label positioned directly in front of the splicing point and the label positioned directly behind the splicing point can be determined, which facts can be used, if necessary, for the control of later labeling machines or the like.
  • a second sensor in the broadest sense of the term, by means of which it can be determined when the forward label band used is used, can also be provided.
  • the trailing label band should also be cut. Since, in the device in accordance with the disclosure and the process in accordance with the disclosure, the beginning of the trailing label band does not have to be label-free, this can be carried out in the usually very narrow intermediate space between two labels, so that the beginning edge that thereby arises is in a completely optimal register alignment with the labels. An excessively great gap between the labels in front of and behind the splicing point is also avoided this way.
  • FIG. 1 A schematic view from above of a device in accordance with the disclosure during normal conveyance operation; and:
  • FIG. 2 A view from above of the device in accordance with FIG. 1 , shortly before the splicing.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 A device 1 in accordance with the disclosure for the splicing of label bands 2 and 3 is provided by FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the label bands 2 , 3 are of the conventional type, and each one contains a support band 4 , to one side of which self-adhering labels 5 , which are of the same size and have uniform distances, and which can be detached from the support band 4 in a labeling machine, are preferably applied.
  • the label bands 2 , 3 are identical in their configuration. Furthermore, for the simplification of the depiction, labels 5 are only shown on one portion of the label band 2 , even though both label bands 2 , 3 are provided with the labels 5 .
  • the size of the labels 5 and their distance from the support band 4 of both label bands 2 , 3 are known and can be preset by a control device, which is not depicted.
  • Both label bands 2 , 3 are removed from a stock, such as from a stock roll, for example, which is positioned on a conventional rotating disk or the like, not depicted, and conveyed through the device 1 with the help of a conveying device 6 which is, in the example of implementation depicted, a band roller driven in the direction of transport “A”.
  • the device 1 contains a splicing station 7 in which, if a label band proceeding in the direction of transport “A”, in this case, the label band 2 , reaches its end, then it is joined to a second, new, trailing label band, in this case, the label band 3 , so that the device 1 leaves a continuous succession of labels.
  • the splicing station 7 is designed for the splicing of the label bands 2 , 3 during their transport movement in the direction “A”.
  • the splicing station contains a first splicing clamp 8 - a and a second splicing clamp 8 - b .
  • the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b are mutually positioned on both sides of the label band whereby, in the example of implementation depicted, the splicing clamp 8 - a is oriented towards the label side of the support 4 , and the splicing clamp 8 - b is oriented towards the reverse side of the support carrier 4 .
  • the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b are normally positioned in relation to one another at a distance “a” which permits an unimpeded flowing through of a complete label band and is caused by a bulge, such as caused by a following splicing point, which will be discussed later.
  • the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b are, however, movable towards one another and away from one another in the direction of the double arrow “B”, so that the distance “a” is reduced and the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b can exert a pressure on the label band that is positioned between them.
  • the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b are, furthermore, movable along the double arrow “C” in parallel to the direction of transport “A”, so that they can move together with the label band and at the same speed.
  • each guide unit 9 - a , 9 - b contains a guide bar to which specific forward- and backward end stops 10 are assigned, so that the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b are displaceable between the end stops 10 of the ball bearings.
  • the pressing movement “B” of the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b is brought about by suitable means, such as pneumatic devices, for example.
  • the movement along the double arrow “C” is brought about by the label band moving in the direction of transport “A”, whereby the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b are pressed against the label band, symmetrically to one another and from both sides, with a force that is sufficient for the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b to be jointly entrained by the label band.
  • Each of the splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b is provided with a holding device 12 , by means of which a trailing label band 3 can be kept in a position of readiness.
  • a trailing label band 3 In order to provide an overlapping splicing with the help of an adhesive tape 11 adhering on both sides, this is prepared in an appropriate manner and is attached, at a defined distance from a defined beginning edge of the trailing label band 3 , to the reverse side of the support carrier 4 oriented away from the labels 5 .
  • the trailing label band 3 is then inserted into the splicing station 7 and is attached by the label side to the holding device 12 on the coordinated splicing clamps 8 - a , 8 - b .
  • the holding device is configured as a vacuum strip. In this position, the trailing label band 3 remains in the readiness position until a splicing process is necessary.

  • the label-removing device 13 - a contains a deflector edge 14 for a sharp deflection of the direction of transport of the label band.
  • the deflector edge 14 borders a guide recess 15 which is, in the present example of implementation, configured as partially circular, preferably semi-circular, for the accommodation of a pressure roller 16 .
  • the deflector edge 14 is thereby located closer to the label band than the guide recess 15 , and is oriented opposite to the direction of transport “A”.
  • the deflector edge 14 and the guide recess 15 are located at a fixed, known point in the transport path W 1 , W 2 , and on the reverse side of the support carrier 4 that is oriented away from the labels 5 .

  • the swiveling label 17 can be moved in the direction of the arrow “D” in such a manner that the pressure roller 16 can be pressed against the label side of the label band 2 and jointly entrain the label band into the guide recess 15 , as depicted in FIG. 2 . If the conveyance of the label band 2 is now continued in the direction “A”, then the labels 5 are detached upon passing over the deflector edge 14 of the support carrier 4 , as depicted in FIG. 2 .
  • a reception surface 18 can, simultaneously with the swiveling lever 17 , be swiveled into a position in which the detached labels accumulate on the reception surface 18 and can then be removed over the reception surface 18 .
